Definitions

  • the present invention is concerned with a process for the protection of stone materials, marble, bricks and concrete, and of structures made from such materials, from decay caused by atmospheric agents and pollutants or by mural writings with paints, inks and the like.
  • a physical phenomenon which acts on all building materials is that due to the succession of frost and thaw, which causes water absorbed inside the pores of the same material to freeze and the corresponding ice to melt, with changes in specific volume, and stresses which cause fractures, or separation of individual particles which constitute the material.
  • Another chemical-physical phenomenon is the process of dissolution in water of limestone which is present in marble as an essential component, and in stone as a binder, consequently having no cohesion between the granules.
  • US-A-4499146 discloses the use for such a purpose of neutral perfluoropolyethers, i.e. perfluoropolyethers not provided with functional groups.
  • EP-A-192493 and 215492 disclose the use of perfluoropolyethers wherein either one chain end, or both chain ends, are constituted by functional groups, such as amide groups or ester groups.
  • the same European patent applications also disclose the use of functionalized perfluoropolyethers in mixture with neutral perfluoropolyethers.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a process which supplies an excellent protection both to low- or medium-porosity materials, and to high-porosity materials.
  • Another object is to provide a process which provides a better protection, the amount of protecting agents relative to both functionalized and non-functionalized perfluoropolyethers, being the same.
  • tetrafluoroethylene copolymers suitable for use in the present invention for example, those may be cited, which contain up to 10 mol % of hexafluoropropene and up to 5 mol % of perfluoroalkyl-perfluorovinyl-ethers, in particular perfluoropropyl-perfluorovinyl-ether, used up to an amount of 3 mol %.
  • the average molecular weight of tetrafluoroethylene homopolymers or copolymers is generally within the range of from 100 000 to 2 000 000.
  • the average size of the primary homopolymer or copolymer particles is generally comprised within the range of from 0.05 to 0.5 ⁇ m.
  • the average molecular weight of the perfluoropolyether not containing functional groups is commonly comprised within the range of from 3 000 to 16 000 whereas that of the functionalized perfluoropolyethers or fluoropolyethers is commonly comprised within the range of from 500 to 20 000.
  • Neutral perfluoropolyethers i.e. perfluoropolyethers not bearing functional groups
  • functionalized perfluoropolyethers and fluoropolyethers suitable to be used in the mixture of protective agents of the present invention are e.g. disclosed in above-cited US-A-4499146, and EP-A-192493 and 215492.

  • the amount of protective mixture to be applied to the surfaces to be protected may vary within wide limits, as a function of the nature of the material to be treated, in particular, of its porosity. Obviously, for porous materials, larger amounts are used. Usually, amounts comprised within the range of from 10 g to 500 g/m2 of surface to be treated are used.
  • the protective composition can be removed from the materials and structures to which it has been applied, by treating such materials and structures first with 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane in order to remove most of the composition, and then with compressed air, in order to remove the residues of polytetrafluoroethylene or of its copolymer.
  • the present invention also relates to a process for preventing or eliminating the effects of decay caused on materials for the building industry and for linings, by the use of inks, spray paints or brush paints, coloured chalks, posted-up placards and the like.
